We are now about three weeks in to 2025. How have you been settling in?
For me personally, I’ve found it a softer start than most of my Januarys in recent years. Usually I make my vision board on January 1st and am ready to hit the ground running.
But this year has felt different.
Not bad… just… softer.
I still made my January 1st board but just haven’t felt turbo charged like usual.
I sat with that feeling for a few weeks.
And then realized that this is an invitation to embrace that vibe and to allow myself the grace to be cool with not having to hustle and grind so much.
We can still accomplish our goals and get things done while remaining soft.
As I look forward, I see a call for us to do that in the collective.
Times are changing and so are we.
Why not think about not only what we’d like to create, but the energy around how we would like to create it.
Are you in steamroller mode?
Or would you perhaps be better served by inviting a little extra gentleness.
“Water is the softest thing, yet it can penetrate mountains and earth. This shows clearly the principle of softness overcoming hardness.” - Lao Tzu
